RCA Exhibit A 7 PROPOSAL 8 Real Estate Solutions, LLC proposes to demolish the existing home and replat the property into six 9 lots far development of one-family, detached homes. The proposed preliminary plat documentation � o is included with this report as Attachment C. The existing home is identified as site #18 on Roseville � � Historical Society's (RHS) "Heritage Trail;" the RHS says the following about the property: �2 "This is said to be one of the oldest homes in Roseville. The foundation of this French- 13 Canadian style home is constructed of concrete and fieldstones - 30 inches thick! The � 4� framing is of rough sawn lumber, the exterior is of brick. A well, windmill, garage, chicken � 5 coop and smokehouse still exist on the property now consisting of 3 1/2 acres. There are no 16 windows on the west or north sides of this house, more than likely to conserve heat." � � Identification of the property on the Heritage Trail does not carry any regulatory obligations as do � s legal registries like the National Register of Historic Places. The RHS has been notified of the � 9 plans to demolish the structures and they may coardinate with the applicant to photograph the 2o property prior to demolition. 2� When exercising the so-called "quasi judicial" authority on a plat request, the role of the City is 22 to determine the facts associated with a particular request and apply those facts to the legal 23 standards contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the 24� application meets the relevant legal standards and will not compromise the public health, safety 25 and general welfare, then the applicant is likely entitled to the approval. The City is, however, 26 able to add conditions to a plat approval to ensure that the likely impacts to parks, schools, roads, 27 storm sewers, and other public infrastructure on and around the subject property are adequately 28 addressed. Subdivisions may also be modified to promote the public health, safety, and general 29 welfare, and to provide for the orderly, economic, and safe development of land, and to promote 3o housing affordability for all levels. 3� An applicant seeking approval of a plat of this size is required to hold an open house meeting to 32 inform the surrounding property owners and other interested individuals of the proposal, to 33 answer questions, and to solicit feedback. The open house for this application was held on March 34 17, 2015; the brief summary of the open house meeting provided by the applicant is included 35 with this staff report as Attachment D. 36 PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS 3� As a preliminary plat of a residential subdivision, the proposal is subject to the minimum lot 38 sizes and roadway design standards of the subdivision code, established in Chapter 1103 (Design 39 Standards). The applicable standards are reviewed below. 4o City Code §ll03.04 (Easements): Drainage and utility easements 12 feet in width, centered on 4� side and rear property lines, are required; the easements shown on the preliminary plat drawing 42 meet these requirements. Additional easement area is shown coinciding with the proposed storm 43 water retention/infiltration and wetland areas. 44 City Code §1103.06 (Lot Standards): Corner lots must be at least 100 feet in width and depth 4� and comprise at least 12,500 square feet of area, and interior lots must be at least 85 feet wide, 46 110 feet deep, and comprise at least 11,000 square feet in area. Because the subject parcel is 47 irregularly shaped, all of the proposed lots vary in size, but all of the proposed lots meet or �;� exceed the applicable minimum standards.
